I love the Mercy Thomson Series, and I loved this story. I read managed to read it in two days despite having a lot of work to do... (This can be taken as a testament of my love for and promotion of this series, book, and author.)
For those who read and enjoyed the books that came before this one: I know you will enjoy this latest adventure of Mercy and Co.
For those who are new to this series (I highly recommend that you start at the beginning, though this is not absolutely necessary), this book centers around Mercy, a smart, snarky, loyal, resourceful, and amazing heroine. Told from two points of view, this book recounts Mercy's adventure in Europe and all the tension, powerplays, and chaos that accompanies it. Read it and have fun!
I love Patricia Briggs' books and have enjoyed every book written by her that I've had the pleasure of reading (and rereading and listening to). I encourage those who love fantasy/paranormal, werewolf/vampire, adventure/romance to give her books a try. I hope this review has been helpful, and happy readings!
*Draft #2 of this review, because my first one wouldn't load *grrr*

This review is strictly for the audio book. I have to believe that the author had input on the addition of a male reader, and who would read, so I am applying my rating to the book as a whole and not forgiving because the story was destroyed by George Newberry's narration.
This male narrator is particularly bad, and there are good male narrators out there (too bad they didn't get one of them) but the experience of paying for a book that does nothing but irritate me and put me in a really bad mood means any future Mercy books that include a male narrator will not be on my purchase list.
Lorelei King is fabulous as always, but even she can't make up for the horrendous male narrator.

Another quick paced entry into this the Mercy Thompson world. I was bummed that there was no Zee and not enough Ben, but they wouldn't have added to the story line. Already ready for the next book.

I wasn't sure if I was going to like this one because we weren't going to get in a lot of the other awesome side characters. Even though Stefan appears in this book, I don't think he got enough time, but I also don't see how his character can be enhanced or broadened compared to others such as Bran or Marsilia.....or even new characters like Larry.
I did miss Ben, but he got a few good lines in, so I'm satisfied.
The twist.... I was so completely taken by surprise. Yet, I don't think it was possible.... There were so many lies. I don't know what to believe-- I think there should have been hints if only so we could look back later and say 'yes there is totally a possibility this could be a thing' instead of just not believing.
I'm glad we got to learn more about Mercy's power! Although, 10 books in I feel like she should kinda know and be able to have a handle on it... or be on her way with it... idk. Doesn't keep me from loving series, but I do wonder what will happen next ^_^
